Steyn has been out of action since he got his right shoulder fractured during Australia's first innings of the opening Test against South Africa, which the Proteas went on to win by massive 177 runs at the WACA Ground in Perth.

Ergo, with a fifty-plus score and a fi-fer in the same Test, the No. 1 ranked Test all-rounder, stands second on the list with eight such doubles in the same Test. Leading the chart is England great Ian Botham (8) which he had achieved in 102 innings.

South Africa are already missing paceman Dale Steyn for the whole series with a shoulder injury and on Saturday fellow seamer Vernon Philander was taken to hospital for an x-ray after being hit on the hand during his innings of 52. The x-ray showed no bones were broken.

Steyn has been out of action since the Perth Test against Australia last November with a broken bone and he was selected in an SA `A` squad who will also tour the UK to get some much-needed match practice.

Ishant swung a length ball into the batsman, which hit him right in front of the wickets and the umpire had no hesitation in raising his finger. The Ranchi crowd heard a loud roar as the pacer exhaled his frustration on sending back the young left-hander.
